Dear all,

Thank you all for visiting, reading and sharing the news with me on the Fukushima Appeal Blog. I’ve kept it running since February 2012. Unfortunately, I will need some break now to attend to some of my health issues.

I would like to thank this blog and its supporters for giving me an opportunity to become a part of the slowly awakening global community during this very important time of global change. I had zero knowledge of nuclear before the Fukushima disaster, and was and still am a just normal citizen. It’s been hard to see Japan becoming a criminal, immoral and authoritarian country since the Fukushima Disaster. So it’s been a huge awakening and healing process to have a platform to speak out instead of feeling powerless, angry and sad about it. With the new secret law that is going to be introduced in Japan soon, Japanese people will need more help than at any other time in its history from foreign bloggers, doctors and scientists. Please remember Fukushima. I hope that the more difficulties we may encounter, the stronger and connected we will become to fight against injustice and be able to act from our heart space. (Mia)

To get USA help, Japan must sign agreement, freeing US vendors from liability米の援助を得るためには、協定にサインしなければいけない。－ その協定で、米の原発業者は負債の責任を負わなくて済むようになる

US
Energy Secretary Earnest Moniz visits Fukushima, declares it
“stunning” and “daunting,” then holds U.S. help hostage until
Japan signs a no-liability agreement indemnifying all nuclear
manufactureers and suppliers — meaning reactor designer General
Electric will be permanently off the hook.

米エネルギー長官Moniz氏、福島原発を視察をし、｢呆然とさせられる｣｢かなり困難な課題｣と、言明したあと、米からの援助を、日本がＧＥの会社が事故責任を負わなくとも済むための協定にサインをすることを条件に、援助を、申し入れた。*U.S.
Says Japan Signing Liability Pact Would Aid Nuclear Cleanuphttp://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-03/u-s-says-japan-signing-liability-pact-would-aid-nuclear-cleanup.htmlJapan
will receive international help with the cleanup at the Fukushima
atomic station once it joins an existing treaty that defines
liability for accidents at nuclear plants, U.S. Energy Secretary
Ernest Moniz said. The
treaty, known as the Convention on Supplementary Compensation for
Nuclear Damage, assigns accident liability to plant operators rather
than equipment and technology vendors, Moniz said in a Nov. 2
interview in Tokyo. The treaty includes setting up a fund for victims
of nuclear accidents and a standard for compensation claims. […]

Evacuation

In Fukushima there was 2 million population including 360,000 children.

The Japanese government evacuated about 100,000 (87,000 out of 20km radios of the plant), and most of them are still in Fukushima prefecture. 65% of Fukushima prefecture became the radiation control area (a level of the contamination is more than 37,000Bq/m2), so therefore most of them are still in radioactively contaminated area unless they evacuated out of Fukushima prefecture into safe area voluntarily without any financial help from the government. Voluntary evacuees within Fukushima prefecture is 23,551, voluntary evacuees out of Fukushima prefecture is 27,776 as of 22/9/11. Even Fukushima-city which is 50km away from the plant is no longer safe, especially for children. The government statistics shows that only about 36,000(including about 20,000children, ) left Fukushima prefecture. And most of them left Fukushima Prefecture voluntarily without any financial support from the government.(October 2012)

Food Safaty

Amount of allowable ionizing radiation in foodincluding rice in Japan is now 100BQ/kg for cesium.

So this could mean that contaminated food which they can’t sell in Japan could be exported to the countries that have more relaxed regulations, such as EU countries and Thai (500) and Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippine, Vietnam, Malaysia (1000) and USA (1200).

*A Woman Who Refuses to Give In to A New Nuke PlantPlease send her a postcard: Atsuko Ogasawara, owner of “Asako House”, built in the center of the planned Ohma Nuclear Power Plant premises. She would appreciate it if you could send a post card (just with a few words is ok). Receiving a mail as much as possible helps her position to keep up anti nuclear campaign.

Fukushima disaster is not over. It seems getting worse. Continuous leaking of ionizing radiation into the atmosphere (10million Bq/hour or more) and into the sea.. There seems no end and no solution to stop it. There is no good result in decontamination work. 27 children developed thyroid cancer. More reports of deformed babies. More people of dying of leukemia and sudden death.… Yet the Japanese Government wants all evacuees to go back to their home land by 2020. Even trying to sell nuclear to other countries, claiming it’s going to be safe. I hope information from this blog to give you views from the victim’s side of stories, health issues and related information on nuclear disaster, especially about Fukushima disaster. We should remember and learn lessons from ongoing tragedy happening in Chernobyl and Fukushima.

Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant up date news

(October 10, 2012)

The Fukushima disaster is far from over, with 10million BQ every hour of ionizing radiation (80% is coming out of reactor 2) leaking continuously into the air (as of October, 2012). No human can get near to the reactors. Even robot can only stay a couple of hours. Reactor 4 is still the most worrying, with 1535 spent fuel rods in the pool. A further6, 375 spent fuel rods are stored in a shared pool only 50 meters away from the Reactor 4. After the disaster, the maximum allowable dose of ionized radiation was raised to 250mSv/yfrom 100 mSv/y for Tepco workers (3000 workers every day) until the situation is restored to normal. Because of the dangerously high level of ionized radiation at the site, they can only work for a limited time, which makes progress slow, and more and more workers have been exposed to the maximum radiation, which means that it could be difficult to find enough people to work there continuously during the next at least 40 years work of decommissioning.

Nobody knows how and when we will be able to say that the Fukushima disaster is over.
